Summarizing LR Question Types

acbclaros

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has created a list of the LR question types and what the anticipated correct answer/ anticipated wrong answer looks like per question type. I remember coming across this type of list when I was first studying for the LSAT but cannot seem to find it anymore. I am hoping to work on mine this weekend and would love to cross-reference with another's.

I don't remember where either but this quizlet was commented somewhere in the CC: https://quizlet.com/142715075/lsat-lr-strategies-by-question-type-flash-cards/

Here's how I taxonomize question types for my students:

ARGUMENT DESCRIPTION (Ones where you're figuring out what's happening in the argument/describing basic aspects of what the argument says):
--Main conclusion
--Argument part
--Point at Issue/Disagree
--Method of Reasoning

ARGUMENT EVALUATION (Ok, we know what the argument says - but is this a good argument/a bad argument, and how can we figure out ways to alter it):
--Flaw
--Strengthen
--Weaken
--Resolve Reconcile Explain
--Evaluate

LAWGIC (More of the "odd person out" category - these are the ones that may or may not be arguments, but tend to be more formulaic):
--Parallel (Regular Parallel Method of Reasoning; Parallel Flaw)
--Assumption (Necessary; Sufficient)
--Inference (Must Be True/Must Be False; Most Strongly Supported)

MISCELLANEOUS (Weird ones that only occasionally show up)
--Fill in the blank/complete the argument (arguably a subset of MSS)
--Equivocation (someone is confused and misunderstands a remark - what word did they equivocate on?)
